Blaze Engulfs West Bottoms Buildings in Kansas City
Firefighters fought a massive blaze in the West Bottoms area of Kansas City Missouri, destroying a vacant six story brick building and damaging at least four nearby businesses. Dozens of crews from both sides of the state lines worked into the morning, with I 35 near downtown closed. No serious injuries reported. Damages expected to reach the millions. The destroyed building had faced code issues two months earlier.

Kansas welfare reform reshapes aid to families with dependents
Kansas SRS officials say welfare caseloads fell after the 1994 AFDC overhaul and the Temporary Assistance to Families program began. Unemployment in Douglas County and Lawrence stood at 3.9 percent in May, with 2,800 more people employed locally this year. Job coaching and two-week skills courses accompany the new clock-ticking rules, as recipients pursue work with limited cash aid and continued safety net benefits.
